Dear Parents and Campers,
We are so excited to work with you this summer. Every single one of you is so important, and an integral part of our troupe.
This year we are excited to announce that our production selection for Summer 2021 Camp 1 is “SpongeBob Squarepants the Musical.” Camp 2 will be a Musical Revue showcasing the students singing and dancing abilities. This camp will be led by our awesome student interns and APTC Founding Artistic Director, Greg Wilson!
To say that we are excited about this summer is an understatement!
PLEASE READ CAREFULLY

(2 matinees and 2 evening shows) Camp 2 – MUSICAL REVUE - For students entering kindergarten to 5th grade in the fall of 2021 (8:30 am-12:30 pm) 2 week camp – Jr musical revue starting July 5th with performances at the end of the second week. A total of two performances to be performed Friday, July 16th, and Saturday, July 17th. (2 evening shows)
Daily Routine Camp 1 will begin June 1st, at 9:00 am SHARP and will work until 2:00 pm daily. They will have a 30 minute lunch period. Camp 2 will begin July 5th, at 8:30 AM SHARP and will work until 12:30 pm daily. There will be snack times, but no lunch period.
Please come 15 minutes early on opening day to confirm the proper forms are turned in and registration is complete. We will also have a sign in/out sheet. Campers under the age of 16 will need to be signed in and out by a parent or guardian daily. This is for the security and safety of the student. No camper under the age of 16 will be allowed to leave the building without being checked out by a parent or guardian approved by the parent in writing. No MINORS will be allowed to check out a child at anytime.
All campers will be involved in working to keep the facility neat and tidy. Daily chores will be assigned and will need to be completed and approved by camp staff before campers are checked out.
Please be prompt in picking up your camper. If you are running late, call one of the numbers we have provided.
Lunch: 30 minutes – Students may not leave the building to get lunch, etc. Campers need to pack a lunch and additional snacks/drinks if they are needed. All campers will be involved in working to keep the facility neat and tidy.
Dress: Campers need to come in clothes they can move in: sweat pants, basketball shorts, and good tennis shoes. NO JEANS. Girls should wear something they are comfortable dancing in, leotard and tights if they have them. Girls should not wear clothing that is too short, tops that are too low, etc. Hair should be pulled back and out of the face. If the camper has dance shoes, please bring those.
ABSOLUTELY NO FLIP FLOPS, SANDALS, or BARE FEET WILL BE ALLOWED ON THE STAGE OR IN REHEARSAL AREAS.
Costumes: Costuming, as always, is the responsibility of the camper. Please do not obtain any items until we have assigned your camper a character. Some Junior High students may have some slightly different options due to their stature. A separate costume sheet will be made available.
Time off We understand that family vacation or summer camp, VBS, etc. may fall on days during the duration of the camp. Campers may take off up to five days. More than that will be a detriment to your camper and to the rest of the camp. UNDER NO circumstances can any camper take off the week of June 14-19 for camp 1 and July 12-17 for camp 2. Tech/dress rehearsal week is the most critical week of the entire process. If this week is an issue, it is best not to enroll in camp at all.
Campers in Camp 1 who do take time off at any time during the first two weeks will need to be evaluated upon their return to make sure they can keep up with the material, performance level, and progress achieved during their absence. We don’t want to set up any camper for failure or embarrassment if he/she doesn’t have the ability or time to catch up due to absence.
Rehearsal We will distribute scripts and email music tracks/links the first week of camp. Scripts/scores will need to be returned at the end of the rehearsal process. Only pencil may be used on any script/score and all script/scores must be returned fully erased. We suggest that you make a copy of the script/score so your camper can write and make notes freely. A $50 fee will be charged by the publisher for any original script that has been lost or not properly erased. Any such fees incurred are charged to the camper/family.
Rehearsal at home Homework/private rehearsal is THE main technique that separates amateurs from professionals. It is our belief that students need to endeavor to come prepared for rehearsal both mentally and emotionally. This rehearsal process is very fun and exciting but can also be demanding and strenuous. Most amateur productions do not come together in three weeks. Your campers will be the exception to this. We will be teaching good attitudes and a good work ethic. There will be an expectation that once campers go home everyday, they will rehearse everything they have learned previously so that they can come in ready the next day to learn new material. We will have time to review, but not to re-teach. We will provide YouTube videos of choreography as soon as campers have learned it so that they can rehearse at home. We also suggest bringing a voice recorder/ipod/phone for learning parts, and a notebook for blocking and acting notes. The more the students use their voice and bodies the more they will retain in terms of the memory of lines, music and choreography. Line/music memorization and choreography is a language in and of itself. Your campers will gain important life-skills as they master this performance language.
WE ARE ALWAYS AUDITIONING – EVEN DURING THE REHEARSAL PERIOD. It should be noted that we will be evaluating the progress of each camper regularly. If we notice that a camper is not doing his or her homework or is not making an effort to improve in his or her responsibilities to themselves and the rest of the cast, that performer may be given a different role/responsibility. This policy is an endeavor to make sure that we don’t set your camper up for failure by giving them a role they are not willing to work for and that may result in a less than stellar performance experience as a result of an inadequate amount of effort on their part. In addition, we don’t want to overwhelm campers with more responsibility than they can handle. We realize that many of our campers are involved in other activities outside of camp (dance classes, sports commitments, etc.) that may preclude them from performing at their best. Rest and a good night’s sleep is highly encouraged during the rehearsal and performance process. Your camper WILL BE STRETCHED both physically and emotionally during this three-week period. Campers will also find one of the most rewarding and fulfilling experiences in their lives by learning the value of really hard work and by developing strong positive relationships with others.
Lost and Found Please make sure your camper does not leave any of their personal items at Cornerstone Church Hendersonville. Both Cornerstone Church Hendersonville and Actors Point Theatre Company or their personnel cannot be held responsible for lost items or items left behind from day to day.
Extra help during the run Moms and Dads! We are looking for extra help during the performances in the areas of make-up, concessions, ticket sales, and ushering. You will not be expected to be behind the scenes every single performance, but your help will be greatly appreciated. There will be volunteer sign up sheets available at rehearsals.
Facebook Page We will create a FB event page and “private” FB page that is only open to Camp participants. Please “add” us when you are invited to the private FB page and most importantly, please share the EVENT page with as may people as you possibly can through Facebook, e-mail, etc.
We will be at Cornerstone Church Hendersonville, 1410 Stop Thirty Road, Hendersonville, TN 37075.
Please don't hesitate to email us or call us if you have any questions. 615-431-9620 or [email protected].
We look forward to working with you and having the best camp yet!
